About

Sequoia Middle School's community garden project took flight in January, 2012. We are located in Redding, CA.  We presently have 5th thru 8th graders involved in the garden through our science department and a garden elective class.

Mission

To provide students an opportunity to learn about growing and harvesting their own food, to give them a sense of pride in their labor and promote healthier living.

Description

The Sequoia Garden Project has been a vision for some time. Thanks to the leadership of one beloved retiree, the dedication of students and staff and lots of community support, generous donations from local businesses and clubs, this vision has finally been brought to life. At present time we have 22 raised beds, a shed to store tools and equipement and a greenhouse.
